Tamar arranged a private tour for her colleagues at Alameda Family Services: “The Chocolate Tour was the perfect antidote to job burnout for my overworked social service staff. We loved learning about chocolate from its history to its many current delicious forms. It was a great opportunity to explore San Francisco and indulge our senses.”
